In a city where land is scarce and innovation is prized, a 15-storey glass tower is turning heads by dispensing supercars instead of snacks. Built by used-car dealer Autobahn Motors (ABM), the vertical showroom in Singapore has been billed as the world’s largest luxury car vending machine, stocking more than 60 high-end vehicles ranging from Ferraris and Lamborghinis to Bentleys, Porsches, and rare classics.
Futuristic Vending Machine For Million-Dollar Cars
The structure, visible from far across the neighbourhood, resembles a full-height illuminated display case. Each vehicle is parked in one of 60 slots spread across 15 floors, creating a stacked showroom that looks more like a giant toy car cabinet than a dealership.
On the ground floor, customers walk up to a touchscreen panel, scroll through available models, watch videos, and select the car they want to view. Within one to two minutes, an automated lift retrieves the vehicle and brings it down, a process the company says offers both speed and spectacle.
General Manager Gary Hong says the unusual format was born out of necessity and creativity. “We needed to store many cars in a very limited space. At the same time, we wanted to be innovative and stand out from the competition,” he told Reuters.
While the tower is designed for luxury car buyers, it has become a tourist draw as well. Visitors regularly stop to watch the robotic system in action, filming the automated lifts as they shuttle exotic cars up and down the structure. The showroom isn’t limited to modern performance cars. It also houses classics, including a 1955 Morgan Plus 4, making it a visual treat for both supercar fans and vintage collectors.
The eye-catching tower has sparked interest among global developers seeking similar automated systems for high-density parking and vehicle storage, ABM officials said.

Social Media Reaction
Images of the vertical showroom continue to circulate widely online, with users expressing awe, curiosity, and amusement. Some questioned the logistics behind car ownership in Singapore, where taxes and permits make owning a vehicle extremely expensive. “I’m sure you can’t just buy one of those. You have to pay over 100 grand just for the right to own a car,” a commenter noted.
Others joked about payment methods, asking if one could “drop a coin in the slot” or “pay with a debit card”. A few wondered how the paperwork process works in such a high-tech setting.

Singapore is not alone in experimenting with vending-style car sales. US company Carvana operates several multi-storey vehicle towers, including an eight-floor structure in San Antonio, Texas, capable of holding 30 cars. Customers there can insert a commemorative coin to collect their vehicle, or opt for home delivery.
